Nevada Pregnant Workers' Fairness Act

Nevada requires employers to accommodate pregnancy-related needs and to engage in a real conversation about it — not just to consider a request and move on.

The duty (NRS 613.4353–613.4383)

Employers with 15 or more employees must provide reasonable accommodationfor a condition related to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition — unless it causes undue hardship — and must engage in a timely, good-faith interactive process.

Example accommodations

  • A modified schedule or modified duties;
  • More frequent or longer breaks; a place to sit or a stool;
  • Transfer to a less strenuous or hazardous position;
  • Time off / leave when appropriate.

Notice requirement

Employers must provide written notice of these rights to new employees and to an employee who notifies the employer of a pregnancy, and post the notice in the workplace.

How it fits with other laws

The accommodation duty coordinates with the federal FMLA (50+ employees), the ADA, and the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act — apply whichever is most protective for the situation.
